The association “Le Klan du Loup” supports their call to demonstrate and will be represented by its President and Founder.

The extermination policy of the Canis Lupus Italicus is in total contradiction with the Berne Convention, a Convention which has been approved by France. The wolf is a strictly protected species in our territory, and because of that the Valls government must honour the French commitments.

We hope that Madame Royal will hear the call of the consciousness of the French citizen who is tired of her eradication policy. There is such a lot of anger among the defenders of biodiversity …

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (11-10-2015)

« Le Klan du Loup » is filing a complaint against person unknown for destruction of protected species and poaching.

The association « Le Klan du Loup » (Independent Association under the law of 1901 recognized of general interest) – first association of the wolf’s protection in France – filed a complaint against person unknown to the public prosecutor of Perigueux, for poaching and destruction of protected species.

Indeed, according to many medias and in the opinion of the public prosecutor, a wolf (Canis lupus) has been poached on friday the 30th of October 2015 in a henhouse located near the municipality of Saint-Léon-sur-L’Isle (24110). This action is unfortunately not isolated, wolves’ poaching (among others…) became a national « sport » in France. And how is that a surprise when the public authorities allow that.

The destruction of the wolf is part of the biodiversity’s destruction, and that should not be tolerated.

« Le Klan du Loup » asks the concerned ministers to fight against poaching but also against animal trade, particularly the wolf’s one !

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (09-23-2013)

France declares war on her wolves !

On 19 September 2013, the Ministers of Agriculture and Ecology (sic) announced that the wolf could be executed by any hunter during of any beaten fighter. These ministers rely on the Wolf Plan 2013-2017, plan worthy with « Munich Agreement », approved by the lobbies of hunters and farmers, but also by associations like Ferus, WWF France, FNE, and s/o…

In just 24 hours (21 and 22 September), two wolves were killed in the Mercantour Park (Alpes-Maritimes), park that is supposedly a sanctuary for flora and fauna. In the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes, it is easier to execute wolves to ensure the safety of property and persons…

The result of these beatings wolves will be zero, that is no-productive: – There will be bursting packs therefore increasing predation – it will have no impact on the real problem of breeders : International competition, particularly of New Zealand and Australia.

Allowing the eradication of a protected species, France is a great leap back two hundred years ago and chose to join the rank of nations which exterminate their protected species.

The association Klan du Loup appeal to all concerned citizens of biodiversity to oppose the anti-wolf beaten. The association Klan du Loup reach out ASPAS to carry out common actions.

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (08-02-2012)

Le Klan du Loup makes a complaint against X for incitement of poaching.

The association » Le Klan du Loup » (association of general interest recognized law 1901, registered in the prefecture of Mont de Marsan),the first association for the defense of the wolf in France, files a complaint against X (unknown persons) to the prosecutor of Mende, for incitement to poaching and the destruction of protected species.

Indeed, during the film festival Vébron (48400), July 17, 2012, a man’s voice resembles that of Mister Joseph (José as nickname) Bove said : » If the wolf may attack a herd, the best way to do it is to take the gun and shoot ! « .

A recording made by Radio Totem is available at : http://youtu.be/Eba4d6tkH5E

This seems characteristic of an incitement to poaching and the destruction of protected species.

Bloody start to the year for the Wolf.

January 30, 2012, a dead wolf with traces of bullet holes were found in the town of Bédoin (84410), the Ventoux.

After the terrible year 2011 for the Wolf, 2012 begins with a new act of poaching. Certainly against the cowardice of the French Government and the National Group for Wolf file management in France, poachers feel encouraged in their acts of extermination.

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (11-17-2011)

Minutes of the hearing before the criminal court of Périgueux.

On November 14, 2011, the association Le Klan du Loup appeared before the criminal court of Périgueux following a complaint for libel filed by the Prefect of the Drome.

The President of Le Klandu Loup was able to explain to the court that it was not the prefect was intended but stopped shooting to kill a wolf that he had taken. Mr. Gaziello also expressed his surprise that two gendarmerie and the DCRI (counter-intelligence) had been mobilized for a simple press release. Finally he took exception to the manipulation by the prosecution, the memory of the combatants of the Vercors !

The plaintiff took in turn the floor and « dropped the mask. » Indeed, the Prefect advocate admitted that the purpose was « to hit where it hurts, that is to say the portfolio, » implying the association Le Klan du Loup to silence, the only association 100% dedicated to the wolf. The advocate of the Prefect of the Drome also explained that the money he demand will support the Departmental Federation of Ovine Drôme, farmers’ union known for his anti-wolf position and highly political … Finally, the advocate of the prosecution has requested the publication of any sentence in the local press of the Drôme.

The attorney, in his closing arguments, claimed 1,500 euros in damages, and it suspended. We are far from what the plaintiff asks …

To close the debate, Mr. Bourdeix, Le Klan du Loup lawyer, has emphasized the respect for freedom of expression, a likely concern for ego of the Prefect of the Drome and the bias of this official. Indeed, this heavy emphasis to say that the money he claims to Le Klan du Loup will support the FDO of the Drôme.

The court’s decision was set deliberately and will be made on December 7.

Le Klan du Loup believes that this trial, under the guise of libel, served as a pretext to the Prefect of the Drome ostensibly to show his commitment to the anti-wolf, and that a few months from the presidential elections, and, passage, to silence the only association 100% Wolf, 0% shooting to kill, association that gene somewhat the French government in its desire to exterminate the wolf.

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (07-11-2011)

The defense of the Wolf will be judged by Justice.

In one week, Monday, November 14 to 14 hours, the association of the Wolf The Klan will appear before the criminal court of Périgueux (France). following a complaint from the Prefect of the Drôme. Originally scheduled for October 5, the trial was postponed because the notice period was not respected (for more information: http://loup.over-blog.org/article-communique-de-presse-de-l-association-le-klan-du-loup-06-10-11-86011604.html).

Of this decision will depend on the freedom of expression of an association law 1901 and the future of the wolf advocates. Indeed, the Prefect of the Drôme believes that our defense of Canis Lupus is offensive and defamatory of him.

For us, the association Le Klan du Loup, we believe that there are two weights, two measures : – on one side anti – wolves do not hesitate to take action on the edge of legality (blocking roads and footpaths, tags, uses « besieged » city, support for poaching, etc. ..) without the State can not find anything to say about it ; – the other side, our association has always acted peacefully, legally and openly and that is dragged before a court after the intervention of two gendarmerie and the Central Intelligence Interior …

The association Le Klan du Loup has full confidence in Justice and hopes that the charges against her be dropped. The defense of the wolf should not be a crime !

Note that Le Klan du Loup is supported by many citizens, associations, animal welfare and the Left Party 24.

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (09-21-2011)

The French government wants to silence the association Le Klan du Loup !

This Wednesday, September 21, 2011, the president of Le Klan du Loup has just received a summons to the accused before the criminal court of Périgueux for Wednesday, October 5, 2011 to 14 hours.

Indeed, following our press release dated May 8, 2011 (http://loup.over-blog.org/article-communique-de-presse-de-l-association-le-klan-du-loup-08-05-11-73387396.html), the prefect of the Drôme had decided to file a complaint for « slander and defamation of a public authority. » The President of Le Klan du Loup was heard by the Gendarmerie ( http://loup.over-blog.org/article-communique-du-bureau-du-klan-du-loup-16-08-11-81743550.html ) and the DCRI (Central Directorate of Internal Intelligence) had investigated our organization.

The prosecutor of the criminal court of Périgueux has decided to prosecute an association Act 1901, recognized the public interest and fully involved in the defense and protection of the wolf in France.

In this pre-election period, « they » want to silence us because we are the only association to be 100% Wolf, 0% of shots to kill; we had been warned that we « bothered »…

We will use the hearing on October 5 to explain in court what is our fight for Canis Lupus, a reminder that the camp of the anti-wolf did not hesitate to take hostage the Tour de France (see the 2010 Tour ), to block roads and footpaths, to call to « besiege » a city or wanting to « eradicate » a minister of agriculture, etc … The association Le Klan du Loup acts with legal and non-violent methods.

If the French government hoped to silence us through the complaint by the prefect of the Drôme it is a waste because we continue to fight again and again for the defense and protection of the wolf in France

On Sunday, September 4, 2011, The Telegramme.com published a paper with a title clash : « A woman bitten by a wolf ! » (http://www.letelegramme.com/ig/generales/regions/bretagne/brest-une-femme-mordue-par-un-loup-04-09-2011-1418282.php) How a woman living in Brest could be attacked by a wolf ? Wolf have the reputation not to attack humans, then why did he break the rule, what is more to the far west of Brittany? These are questions that should have call journalists no ?

Upon reading the article, the mysterious « wolf bite » is the domain of the impossible : In fact, it is a Czech Wolf Dog (CLT), breed of dog recognized by the International Federation Cynologique. This one has nothing to do with a wolf (Canis lupus lupus).

The Telegramme.com managed a nice mix to attract the reader: to get a dog to a wolf. We can not think of too many articles published by similar regional press in attacks herd…

The worst being that the entire French press and television (M6 for example) has taken this information on a so-called « wolf bite », without even checking the facts !

Tuesday, August 16, 2011, the French Nationale Gendarmerie has called the president of the association Le Klan du Loup to show him the complaint by the prefect of the Drôme for « defamation and insult to a public authority. » This claim is further to our press release, reference below : http://loup.over-blog.org/article-communique-de-presse-de-l-association-le-klan-du-loup-08-05-11-73387396.html

The President of Le Klan du Loup used his hearing as a reminder that the order was subject to this press release and not the prefect as an individual. He also recalled that the camp of the anti-wolf did not hesitate to take hostage « Le Tour de France » (cf. Tour 2010), to block roads and hiking trails, called « the siege » of a city or wanting to « eradicate » a minister of agriculture, etc… The association Le Klan du Loup, she, acts with non-violent and legal means ! The President of Le Klan du Loup finally recalled the services of the Prefecture of the Drôme were recipients of the press release and that the prefect could have exercised his right of reply; Le Klan du Loup would then released without any difficulty…

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (08-11-2011)

By Ministerial Orders 9 and 10 May 2011 (Official Gazette No. 0111 of May 13, 2011), the Ministers of ecology and agriculture had allowed the fire to kill six wolves, ignoring the international conventions that protect Canis lupus. Through this « license to kill » was a blank check that was given to all those who want no more wolves in France. The prefect of the Drôme is one of those people.

Indeed, Wednesday, August 3, 2011, a young wolf was killed on his orders, in the town of Combovin (26,120).

The press service of the prefecture is very fuzzy : – we do not know what means of protection enjoyed the herd supposed to be the victim of attacks by a wolf – the wolf subadult was shot as he was « near » of the herd, not during an attack of it.

The association Le Klan du Loup strongly condemns this new shooter to kill that threatens, a little more, the survival of Canis lupus on our territory.

The acts of the prefect of the Drôme and the French government against the Wolf and Biodiversity do not make us give up, we continue to defend the Wolf and let it know.

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (05-17-2011)

The French government does not want more longer the wolf on our territory.

By Ministerial Orders of 9 and 10 May 2011 (Official Gazette No. 0111 of May 13, 2011), ministers of ecology and agriculture have allowed for 6 shots to kill wolves, ignoring international conventions that protect Canis lupus. Through this « license to kill », it is a blank check given to the poachers – go ahead, the state no longer protects wolves in France -.

In addition, these same ministers have allowed herders to use firearms against the wolf, taking the risk of turning pastures in the Far West.

The association Le Klan du Loup like to recall here its total opposition to ALL shots to kill.

To regain the agricultural electorate, Sarkozy does not hesitate to sacrifice the biodiversity on the altar of clientelism !

But to have a free hand, the government needs to silence opponents of wolf eradication project. Therefore the prefect of the Drôme has decided to give the troops against the association Le Klan du Loup. The president of Le Klan du Loup is going to receive soon a summons from the police, the state representative is not at all happy with the press release about him ( http://loup.over-blog.org/article-communique-de-presse -of-the-association-le-klan du loup-13-05-11-73773818.html).

The maneuvers of the prefect of the Drôme and the French government do not impress us, we continue to defend the Wolf and let it know.

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (05-13-2011)

Stalking Wolf intensifies in France !

After the prefect of the Drôme in May 6, 2011 (see our press release: http://loup.over-blog.org/article-communique-de-presse-de-l-association-le-klan-du-loup -08-05-11-73387396.html), it is the turn of the Alpes-Maritimes want to kill the wolf. Indeed, the prefect, by decree dated May 12, 2011, decided to shoot a wolf on the municipalities of La Bollene Vésubie, Belvedere and Roquebillière. This « license to kill » is valid for one month and will seriously jeopardize the survival of wolves in this area. It should be noted that the day after the order, the President of the Republic received the CPNT Nihous (hunting, fishing, nature and tradition) …

With the arrival of the next presidential and legislative elections, Sarkozy’s government has decided to move up a gear in its efforts to eradicate, once again, the wolf in France. The Department of Ecology has opened wide the door through its proposed anti-wolf arrested April 12, 2011. The minister of ecology is useful only to serve the soup in the lobby of farmers and hate Biodiversity …

For us, the association Le Klan du Loup, we can not accept any shooting to kill because the main predator of French sheep is lamb from New Zealand or Australia ; canis lupus is unrelated to the economic problems of the French sheep industry.

However, the French government would have more difficulties to implement its policy of extermination if some associations have called pro-wolf had not endorsed the plan and Wolf did not admit « some shooting to kill » !

Le Klan du Loup invites all citizens attached to the Biodiversity and Canis lupus to write to the prefect of Alpes-Maritimes to express their opposition to the execution of a wolf.

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (05-08-2011)

Why such hatred towards nature from the representative of the state ? Is it simply to caress the breeders in the direction of the wool, a year before the presidential elections or is there a profound contempt for Biodiversity ?

And that’s where we can see that the public consultation on the draft decree derogatory anti-wolf, launched by the Department of Ecology (http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/spip . php? page = article & id_article = 22,291), was a huge hoax. The vast majority of French people are opposed to Wolf hunting but the Sarkozy government does not matter of the protection of endangered species. What is the life of a wolf face the (possible) vote of a farmer / hunter ?

This is another sad example of the collaboration engendered some associations are called « pro-wolf », with the French government and his « Wolf Plan », in his genes the destruction of Canis lupus…

LE KLAN DU LOUP - PRESS RELEASE (04-17-2011)

The French government really wants to get rid of the wolf and for that he has instructed the Department of Ecology to prepare a new order conforming to the strict protection of the Wolf (Canis lupus) in France.

On March 23, 2011, the website of the Department of Ecology (http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/spip.php?page=article&id_article=21980) had already launched a « Draft Order establishing the conditions and limits within which exceptions to the prohibitions of destruction may be granted by the prefects about the wolf and had launched a public consultation.

On 12 April 2011, the website of the Department of Ecology (http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/spip.php?page=article&id_article=22291) proposed a new version of this project. The main difference with the former ? The withdrawal of the Cantal area of application of these shots to kill. The presence of the wolf stay, anyway, uncertain ..

If this new order were to come into effect, it would mean the total destruction of the wolf in France, anti-wolf hiding behind the firing of Defense and the firing of destruction to carry out their grisly task.

For us, the association Le Klan du Loup, we can not allow any shooting to kill. Indeed, the French population of canis lupus painfully reached a few hundred people, so that the installation of permanent wolf on national territory is far from assured. In addition, the wolf is often a victim of poaching and road accidents. Finally, we recall that Canis lupus is a species protected by the Berne and Washington conventions as well as the Habitat Directive.

The president had ended his posture « green » and shown a willingness to flatter the agricultural world. At one year of presidential the candidate Sarkozy takes action.

Some associations, which we sang the « Wolf Plan » was well supported, have opened Pandora’s box, thus promoting the risk of total disappearance of the wolf in France.

Should the draft decree would come to see the day, the association Le Klan du Loup appeals to ASPAS or associations such as the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for that, together, we struggled to quash the text iniquitous
